That was a blast and I hope you enjoyed getting a daily dose of flowery art.

There wasn't a live model for these lovely peonies but instead I found a beautiful reference photo by Cathy Casey on a site called - Paint my Photo. She has many wonderful shots of all kinds of flowers. Also on the site are many other photographers with all kinds of photo's from automobiles to zoo animals. You can check it out here PMP.

I also wanted to thank artist Leslie Saeta for hosting this challenge again despite her super busy life. She is a blogging of her 100 Year Old Home...(it's so pretty!), this lady paints', has a family, social media guru and OH she also has a radio podcast called Artist's Helping Artist's which is nice to listen to while painting! I don't know how she does it but THANK YOU LESLIE!!

will need to clean my house...gotten kind of behind, I can tell when my husband notices. So guess what? I gave him a dust rag and dusting spray hehe.

Trying to play catch up in my art room. I actually started with another painting, then went on to this one. I'm still hooked on this old blue mason jar. Maybe these paintings can be grouped as the Blue Jar Series ??

After it's final cruise before decommisioning, the Officer's got to take a piece of it's history and he chose this coffee pot from the Ward room. It's probably about 60 yrs old. I just love all the patina on it!!
